TRANSLATION- we wanted to make this stuff cheaper and our poor AGC circuit causes such terrible pumping effects it was an easy thing to throw away. But never mind – if you feed this version from an over compressed FM station it will still sound as bad as the original!
@par4ken - If I say SQ decoder I mean all the decoder section (red lined on pic bellow). So nothing which goes through the decoder block (2+4, SQ, R-MTX) is playing. If I choose pure 2CH, it plays because it bypassed the decoder block (green line on pic bellow). Maybe DISCRETE inputs will play correctly but I cannot try it, I have nothing to play from. But from the diagram, it seems it goes somehow through the decoder also.

I got the documents. Thanks for advice.
I would assume these were distributed to servicers many years ago, luckily some were kept, scanned and eventually uploaded.btw how is possible fact that on HifiEngine is more than service manual? Sony inc clearly told me those informatioans are not available to customers. Or this was some kinf of exception (new circuit?) or some kinf of leak from Sony?
Yes, exactly, they were only released to the trade and never published. Back in the day if you spoke very nicely to the manufactures you could occasionally get hold of them - some manufacturers were more helpful than others - I managed to get the service manuals for Panasonic and Revox quite easily for example. Most manufactures won't have copies of service manuals for equipment they stopped making forty or more years ago - why would they? Interestingly I don't think they produce manuals like this for most modern equipment - there aren't any repairmen left and everything is considered to be disposable! The majority of stuff that fails under warranty just gets replaced and if it fails outside of warranty you're stuffed!
If you have only a 2-channel source, you can test the discreete part two channels at a time.
Information is not available because of the equipment's age. You can still find manuals online for sale but they are pricy. It's possible that Sony won't supply service manuals for newer equipment, as someone else said the new stuff is throw away! The information on HifiEngine is just a blurb about the new decoders that use the Sony chipset.btw how is possible fact that on HifiEngine is more than service manual?

If I understand the question the answer is: in the decoder block on the right site, there are the swithers of 2+4, SQ, R-MTX if I understand well the schema.
They only have a lower model listed.

Quadraphonic headphones have two plugs, one plugs into the front jack (usually the top one) the other is for the back the other plug. For stereo headphones use the front jack only. Modern phones need an adaptor 1/8" to 1/4".Hi there,
my amp has changed little bit. SQ decoder is bypassed but all channels are working properly. Bulbs are replaced by LED belt with warm color cover.

Few more things to solve:
Antena - do You please suggest siutable type?
Phones - there are two outputs of phones: back anf front. How should that work?
Thanks
I'm not sure about the antenna. Radio near me us pretty worthless so I don't bother anymore.Thans a lot @par4ken !
What about Antena? Today I can buy for example this 300 ohm antena with coax:
But how to connect it to 2 (or 3 connectors) of antena 2 pieces + ground? Do I have to some hoe strip the cable?

One more thing...
If everything works fine and I listen for example stereo radio and turn SQ function on. What sound goes out from 4 speakers, quadro or 2+2 stereo?
Thanks
